The world's ambitions are unparalleled

Chapter 76
That night, Murong Jinfeng did not come to her again.Although Jinse was slightly surprised, she couldn't wish for it.

She started walking towards the city in the middle of the night, but the pain in her right leg was so painful that she couldn't feel it, and the walking was extremely difficult. It was not until the next morning that she finally returned to the city, and she was already in a mess.

She didn't have any taels of silver on her, so she searched for some of the remaining accessories and pawned them together with the bodyguard uniform on her body, but she didn't expect to get only five taels of silver.

Five taels of silver was not enough for her to go back to Qingyue.

Jinse stood outside the cabinet in a daze, the shopkeeper looked her up and down, his eyes rested on the only plain jade hairpin left on her head, and said: "Girl, if you are really short of money, I will send you a hairpin on your head." Take that hairpin off, and the little old man may consider giving you another five taels of silver."

Jinse was startled, and raised her hand to caress the jade hairpin on her head.It was the last birthday gift her sister gave her. She was never willing to leave her body. After thinking about it, she shook her head, turned around and walked out of the pawn shop.

With one tael of silver, he bought a large bag of Zhongli's special steamed buns as dry food, and with two taels of silver he bought a donkey, and converted the last two taels of silver into copper plates, and Jinse set out on his way.

Donkeys are naturally inferior to horses, but because Jinse's legs and feet are injured now, they have become the best means of transportation.The only worrying thing is that the donkey walks too slowly and eats too much. Every day Jinse feeds it twice as much steamed buns as it eats itself.Calculated in this way, within ten days, the dry food she had prepared would be eaten up, and this donkey only carried her for less than one-tenth of the distance.Even if the rest of the money is used to buy food, it is still not enough to return to Nayi Mountain.

Jinse felt very sad, and every time when she was very sad, she couldn't eat anything, and the donkey would wait for the opportunity to grab food from her. After eating too much, the pace still didn't speed up by half, so Jinse Ser was getting more and more worried.

Until one morning, when she woke up from the place where she slept at night, there was no sign of a donkey around her, and there was no human habitation within a radius of five miles.She couldn't go without a donkey, and couldn't go without dry food, so Jinse lost more and more strength, and still lay where she was, just thinking about resigning herself to fate.

Unexpectedly, it was a blessing in disguise. The next day, she met a group of passing business travelers. It was probably because her dirty face and old appearance were so pitiful, that group of business travelers took her with them, and it was fine to drop into the hotel at night. Serve a copy of Zither.

Since then, Jinse has finally been able to rely on the help of others and no longer sleeps in the open.

That night, she had a quick shower, and the women in the caravan lent her two more clothes, and finally she was tidy again.Unexpectedly, after taking a bath and changing clothes, the older women in the caravan looked at her differently.

"Oh, I just thought we picked a wild girl, but unexpectedly she turned out to be a complete beauty!"

"That's right, look at how handsome he is, he really wants to compare with the young master's wives!"

The young master they were talking about was the leader of the caravan. His surname was Shang and his last name was Nan Cheng. Zhongli went to Qingyue to deliver the goods, so he could see that he was a person who could endure hardships.

Several women looked at Jinse up and down for a long time, and then said humanely: "It looks pretty, but it's a pity, it's too thin. It can be seen that it must have suffered a lot along the way, and it must be taken care of when it comes back. body."

"Why do you need to worry about raising your body? In my opinion, just treat this girl like this, and soon you and I will call her master!"

The mothers-in-law immediately laughed knowingly, but Jinse's heart tightened slightly: "What do you mean, aunts?"

One of them stepped forward and took Jinse's hand and said: "My son, he is a sympathetic master. If he sees you like this, can you not like it? At that time, you will not say that you are popular and spicy. , must we call you master?"

Jinse's face suddenly changed, and she withdrew her hand: "Masters, please don't talk nonsense."

When the women saw this, they said she was shy, and said a few words jokingly, and then they left.

Jinse didn't expect that Shang Nancheng would suddenly ask someone to find her that night.

Jinse's legs and feet are still not good. When he limped to meet him, he was sitting in the garden of the inn enjoying the moon. He raised his eyes and saw Jinse, and pointed to the seat opposite: "Sit."

Jin Se complied and sat down.

In fact, when he rescued Jinse, he just glanced at him and nodded his head. The two of them were completely strangers, but he didn't show any strangeness. Looking at Jinse, he said calmly, "May I ask what your name is?"

Jinther paused and said, "My surname is Mei."

Shang Nancheng raised his eyes, his quiet eyes swept over Jinse's face, and suddenly the corners of his lips curled up slightly: "Shang has no malicious intentions, why did the girl give a false surname?"

This person's vision is really sharp, Jinse pondered for a moment, and said again: "It's my villain's heart, my surname is Jin."

Shang Nancheng nodded lightly, and said, "I don't know where Miss Jin lives, and who else is there?"

Jinse suddenly remembered what those women had said in the afternoon, and she couldn't help but feel a little more defensive: "My family is in Qingyue, with my parents and three elder brothers."

Shang Nancheng still nodded his head, and seemed to accept Jinse's words: "Then Miss Jin promised someone else?"

The defense in Jinse's heart suddenly spread to all limbs and bones: "Of course I promised. I went to Zhongli this time to find my fiancée-in-law, but I didn't expect to be robbed of my property by thieves halfway, so I couldn't move on. , and couldn’t return home. Fortunately, I met the son and his party, otherwise, the little girl would have been buried in the wild by now.”

Shang Nancheng suddenly nodded and laughed lightly. The smile seemed to be quite meaningful in Jinse's eyes. She couldn't help but feel another layer of defense in her heart, but she heard Shang Nancheng say: "I think the girl looks like a rich girl." He comes from a family background, so I'm afraid I'll offend the girl if I live in the lower room. I've ordered someone to allocate another upper room, and it's ready, and the girl can move in."

Jinse was about to refuse, but Shang Nancheng had already stood up, cupped his hands at Jinse and walked back.

Jinse couldn't call him, and couldn't catch up with him, so she was really helpless.

In a short while, Shang Nancheng's maid came to invite Jinse to enter the upper room, Jinse really had doubts in her heart, she refused in every possible way but to no avail, and finally entered the upper room.

But it turns out that it is really easy to get into the house, but difficult to get out of the house.When she wanted to go out the next day, the door was already guarded by guards.

"Girl, there was a theft in this inn last night. The young master ordered us to stay in this inn until the case is investigated. For the safety of the girl, please don't leave the room." The guard guarding the door True words, it seems to be telling the truth.

Apart from feeling that her life was in jeopardy, Jinse was really powerless to think about anything else, so she went back to the house, thinking about everything and watching what happened.

Unexpectedly, this silence lasted for three days, and Jinse's heart became slightly flustered.

In fact, she had been calm and flustered before, because she just thought of other possibilities.

Previously, she had always thought that Shang Nancheng had some intentions, but this three days of standing still told her that Shang Nancheng was probably waiting for someone.

Trapped her and waited for someone to come!
Thinking of this all of a sudden, it was like a thunderbolt exploded in Jinse's mind, and she couldn't calm down anymore.

No matter who the person was coming, she would never want to see it.

Fortunately, it was probably because Shang Nancheng felt that she was just a little girl with no strength to restrain her, so she didn't need to spend much effort, so he only sent two people to watch her every day, and had no other means.

Jinse began to practice her legs and feet hard, trying to make her legs walk like ordinary people, even if it was only for a short while, it was enough.

This is really extremely difficult, but she insists on doing it!
On the fourth day, the little maid who came in to bring her meals every day was beaten unconscious by her.She had never done such a thing before, and she was afraid of hurting that girl, and also afraid that the people at the door would hear the movement and get nervous, and she didn't know the severity of her attack.

Seeing the girl fell to the ground, Jinse's face turned pale with fright, stretched out her hand to check her breath, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

She had already combed her hairstyle earlier in the morning, now she only needs to change the girl's clothes, endure the pain in her legs, and walk out of the room with her head down.

The guard at the gate stood there for many days without any movement, so it was inevitable that he would relax.When Jinse carried the food box and walked out of the room with her head bowed, the two of them just glanced at each other and let Jinse go out without even seeing their appearance clearly.

Jinse was still calm, and walked with difficulty in a normal walking posture. When she finally got out of the sight of the two, she suddenly threw the food box, quickened her pace, and hid in a rockery in the garden.

She had just hid in, but within a short while, she suddenly heard a long neighing of horses coming from the door of the inn, followed by a burst of chaotic footsteps.

"You all get out and stay outside the inn!"

When the man's condensed voice suddenly sounded in the garden, Jin Se, who was hiding in the rockery, suddenly covered her mouth and squatted down silently.

She had tried her best to avoid it, but why did he still find it?

The sound of dozens of people exiting quickly sounded outside, and after a while, those people seemed to have all retreated outside the inn, and only one person's footsteps remained, walking slowly towards the room where Jinse lived before.

Jinse covered her mouth and nose, not daring to make a sound.

She heard him order the two guards at the door to go down, then he knocked on the door and whispered her name: "Jinse?"

Jin Se huddled in the rockery, motionless, letting her tears fall silently.

Probably because he didn't hear an answer, after a while, he pushed open the door.

What followed was deathly silence.Jinse could almost imagine what his expression would be like at this moment, but she didn't dare to think too much, she could only hug herself tightly.

"Jinse!"

He yelled loudly, the voice was fearful and painful, and Jinse's heart hurt suddenly, and he hurriedly bit his hand.

After a while, there were footsteps coming from all directions, and they seemed to gather in front of the door of that room.

Shang Nancheng's voice was slightly terrified: "My lord, it's because my subordinates are ineffective. She has injuries on her legs and feet, so she shouldn't have traveled too far. This subordinate will send someone to look for her."

The crowd in front of the room quickly dispersed again, but Jinse didn't hear his leaving footsteps, thinking that he must still be standing at the door of the room, she couldn't help feeling a little panicked.

Su Li, Su Li, why bother?
The inn garden soon became quiet as before, as if there was no one left.But Jinse knew that he was still there.

If she can't be found, he will probably be there all the time, right?
Jinse sat there for a long time, finally seemed to understand something, paused again, and slowly got up.

The noise from the rockery quickly woke up Su Li who was standing under the eaves. He stared fixedly at the rockery, with desolation in his eyes, and finally had some hope.

Jinse struggled out of the rockery with her painful right leg.

That scene almost took his breath away.

Jinse slowly stood up straight, stopped moving forward, just looked at him, and smiled slightly.

In an instant, thousands of emotions seemed to turn in Su Li's eyes, but they were all hidden in the dark eyes in the end.

He strode forward, hugged her into his arms, and almost exhausted all his strength to hug her tightly.

It seemed that Jinse had been separated from the hug for thousands of years, but Jinse couldn't feel the pain. After a long time, she reached out and stroked his back, and called softly, "Su Li."

Su Li didn't make a sound, just hugged her tightly, as if he would never let go again in this lifetime.

The night is as dark as water, and the moonlight is blurred.

When the doctor took the last silver needle from Jinse's leg, he was still worried, and said: "Miss, please remember that this leg must not be tossed about again, and now rest in peace until everything gets better. Otherwise, even if it is Immortal Da Luo, I'm afraid he won't be able to return to heaven."

Su Li frowned, just looked at Jinse, but Jinse smiled at the doctor relaxedly: "Understood, Mr. Lao Lao."

After the doctor was sent away, another maid brought over the medicine. Su Li sent the maid away, brought the medicine bowl himself, and fed it to Jinse little by little with a silver spoon.

"Is it bitter?"

Jinse shook her head, seeing that he was too careful, she simply brought over the bowl, raised her neck and drank it up in three or two gulps.

Su Li's eyes dimmed slightly, but he still took the empty bowl and put it aside, and helped Jinse to lie down.

Even this moment of silence is uncomfortable.After Jinse lay down, she hurriedly said: "Then Shang Nancheng didn't even say that he was yours, and put me under house arrest without saying a word. I don't know what he wants to do, so naturally he wants to escape. Next You have to teach them well, don’t be so secretive about everything, it’s scary.”

Su Li looked at her, and after a while, smiled slightly.

Three years.

It has been three years since they parted in Lorraine County. It seems that he has gone through vicissitudes and changes, and he has finally calmed down a lot.

Jinse lowered her eyes slightly, looking at her hands.

Su Li looked down at her, then stretched out his hand to hold her, paused for a long time, and said: "The situation in Zhongli is dangerous, when your leg injury recovers, I will send you to Jinli Country, find a quiet town settle down."

Jinse shook her head lightly: "No need. Actually, I just want to go back to Mount Nayi, where it's very quiet and no one will disturb me—"

Su Li's strength in holding her suddenly increased a bit, as if he didn't want her to continue talking.

Jinse was startled, and raised her eyes to look at him: "I—"

As soon as he uttered a word, there was a knock on the door, and then he remembered Shang Nancheng's voice: "My lord, I have something important to report."

Su Li glanced at Jinse, then shook her hand again: "You rest first, I'll go back as soon as I go."

It was midnight after this trip, Jinse couldn't wait for him to come back, and didn't sleep well until dawn.

It wasn't until the next day, when the room was full of morning light, that Su Li stepped into her room again. Seeing that she had woken up, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"

Jinse pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm not hungry. I want to sit outside."

Su Li looked at her legs, then at her expression, after all, he didn't say much, stepped forward and picked her up, and went to the small garden outside.

When she sat down on the stone bench in the garden, Jinse couldn't help but reached out and rubbed her right leg. Seeing this, Su Li slowly squatted down in front of her, and put her leg into his arms: " But did it hurt when I touched it just now?"

Jinse shook her head: "Actually, it doesn't hurt much anymore, it's just that you are too nervous."

Su Li looked up at her, paused for a moment, and suddenly hugged her into his arms again: "I lost you for two years, now...how can I not be nervous?"

Jinse felt a pain in her heart, and slowly closed her eyes, then opened her eyes, but her face was already calm: "It's not that you lost me, it's probably because God takes pity on you, and I can't bear to let you have any more entanglements with me—"

"What nonsense?" Su Li slowly helped her up, looked at her for a while, then suddenly got up and said, "I'll let them prepare breakfast."

After finishing speaking, he stood up and was about to leave. Jinse sat in the same place and looked at the back of him who was about to leave, but finally couldn't help but said: "Don't avoid it. Let's talk, have a good talk .”

Su Li's body froze slightly, almost unable to turn around.

Jin Se lowered her eyes again, and said with a slight smile, "I was there on the night you and Jinghao got married, and I saw it all."

Su Li suddenly turned around, walked back with big strides, reached out to support her shoulders, there was a faint crack in her eyes as black as black jade.

There was another long silence before he finally spoke again: "Are you blaming me?"

Jin Se stared at him and shook her head again: "Many things in this world are beyond our control, and I don't blame you."

"Then you found me that day, why didn't you show up?" He squeezed her shoulder blades tightly.

Jinse frowned slightly in pain, but still said calmly: "Because we all know what you want. We all know who can help you with your grand ambitions and aspirations. At that time, I would be really stupid, but today, I know that your road ahead will be very hard. The only thing that can make this road easier is Jinghao. I really don’t blame you, I I only blame myself. Su Li, I have lived too hard in the past, and I don’t want to continue to suffer like this. I don’t have the courage, I don’t have the courage to accompany you on the road to the end—”

"Nonsense! Nonsense! Nonsense!" Before Jinse could finish speaking, Su Li had already pushed her head into his arms and silenced her next voice, "You don't have to say such things to lie to me, I I won't believe it!"

Jinse pressed her face close to his arms, she couldn't help but burst into tears, but she couldn't continue talking after all.

"Then are you willing to continue to wait for me?" Su Li hugged her tightly, "You don't have to accompany me in the future, you can continue to live your peaceful life, you just need to wait for me. Jinse, I I will never break my promise to you.”

Jinse tried not to cry and shook her head in his arms.

But Su Li fixed her shaking head under his palm again, not allowing her to continue shaking: "Promise me, Jinse, promise me."

Jinse didn't know whether she was happy or sad, but she only knew it was impossible.

Since he chose that path, there will never be a place for her in his world.

Jing Hao, who is smart, wise and good at judging the situation, is determined not to allow her to sleep peacefully on the side of the couch.

Jinse is afraid and tired. She has had enough of being calculated by others.

"I want to see the son-in-law!"

Jinse was immersed in her own thoughts, but suddenly there was a roar from outside, followed by a burst of noise. After a while, the person who made the roar finally broke through many obstacles and came in front of the two.

Only then did Su Li slowly let go of Jinse, and turned to look at that person with cold eyes.

"My subordinates see the son-in-law! My subordinates came here from the princess mansion quickly to pass on the news to the son-in-law. The princess fell in the imperial garden a few days ago. The imperial doctor diagnosed that there were signs of miscarriage. Please come back quickly!"

After the man finished speaking, the guards who followed him and wanted to stop him all froze. After looking at each other, they looked at Su Li at a loss.

Everyone knows that it was only half a month ago that Princess Jinghao married the son-in-law, but at this moment, there was news that Princess Jinghao was having a miscarriage. This was already a matter involving Princess Qingyu, so Several people were almost frightened by the facts they heard.

Su Li's face was condensed and calm, and he glanced at the few people in front of him lightly.
